Continental have optimised the Top Contact Winter II further, refining it with Vectran Breaker anti-puncture belt beneath the tread, as well as giving it a foldable bead. This optimises its weight reducing the rolling resistance thus increasing speed and handling characteristics.

The tyre operates at its best at temperatures between -25°C and 0°C .Where other mixtures no longer have any grip, the Top Contact Winter II Premiums proven compound and tread pattern intermeshes with snow and cold, wet surfaces very well.

The tyre is even more superior to spiked tyres which cannot straighten up on snow and shovelled streets, the reflective tyres provide additional safety on the dark winter nights and dusky days.

Continental Technologies Found On This Tyre

Vectran Breaker

Vectran has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
